Personality

Shake's enemies think he is sinister. In fact, so do some of his friends, but you can be sure that he's no slippery character - Rattle is a virtuous viper.[1]

Biography

Some say Rattle Shake was the best tracker in the Cloudbreak Islands. Others say he could strike the center of a gold coin at a thousand paces. But the legend of Rattle Shake was immortalized when he found himself trapped by the Black Hat Gang, the infamous group of cowboys who literally were large cows… and evil ones at that. They threatened to plunder the local village unless Rattle Shake led them inside the magical volcano Mt. Cloudbreak, where they hoped to discover enchanted treasure. Badly outnumbered, the ever calm Rattle Shake magically summoned every snake in the area and overtook the notorious bovines in an epic fight. The tale of his heroism was heard by Master Eon, who then recruited him to the Skylanders.

He is the first Undead Skylander to have an exclusive non-Legendary variant figure, Quickdraw Rattle Shake.

He appears with extra red scales on his forehead and arms in-game.

Additionally, his spring-loaded snake is red on his toy and artwork, but shows up maroon in-game.

He and Rubble Rouser are the only SWAP Force Skylanders with top Soul Gems that change the colors of their skin. Rattle Shake's top, as well as the bottom, become purple. But after getting hit once by enemies, his skin turns yellow again until it turns purple a few second later.

Also, both their figures forms show them holding their weapons in their left hands, while in the game, they hold them in their right hands.

Despite his both official artworks, Rattle Shake holds his snake launcher in his right hand. However, he is capable of shooting snake venom from his right hand and launching snakes by yanking on it with his left hand. He could be ambidextrous.

In Trap Team, his spring loaded snake only collects one item at a time.

He is voiced by Troy Baker, who also voices Hawkeye and Loki in "Ultimate Spider-Man" and "Avengers Assemble", as well as Sunburn and Brock.

According to Troy Baker, he based Rattle Shake's voice on Antonio Banderas.[2]
